Friday Bird Blogging: Sandpiper

Here is a picture of a sandpiper(?species) from our last trip to Florida. I have really become fond of these birds from our yearly visits to the beach. They are always nearby and actively following the shoreline up and down with the waves. With each wave, they probe the sand with their long bills as it settles with the receding water. Here is brief video of two of these birds in action on the shoreline.
